python zip与zip(*)

zip配合list产生元组数据，用于函数输入

a = [1,2,3]
b = [4,5,6]
c = [4,5,6,7,8]
zipped = zip(a,b)     # 返回一个对象
zipped
>>>zip object at 0x103abc288>
list(zipped)  # list() 转换为列表
>>>[(1, 4), (2, 5), (3, 6)]
list(zip(a,c))              # 元素个数与最短的列表一致
>>>[(1, 4), (2, 5), (3, 6)]

a1, a2 = zip(*zip(a,b))          # 与 zip 相反，zip(*) 可理解为解压，返回二维矩阵式
list(a1)
>>>[1, 2, 3]
list(a2)
>>>[4, 5, 6]
list(zip(*zip(a,b)))
# zip(*)返回元组，这里a1和a2编程元组了
a1
>>>(1, 2, 3)
a2
>>>(4, 5, 6)
#zip(*)也可以解list,将第二层的元素作为打包为元组，这对函数输入很有用
A=[[1],[2],[3]]
list(zip(*A))
>>>[(1, 2, 3)]

举个例子
多进程处理

def get_videoclips(videoinpath, videooutpath, start_time, end_time):
	...

class VideoClipper:
    def __init__(self, videoinpath, videooutpath, start_time, end_time, n_jobs=-1):
        self.n_jobs = os.cpu_count() if n_jobs <= 0 or not isinstance(n_jobs, int) else n_jobs
        self.videoinpath = videoinpath
        self.videooutpath = videooutpath
        self.start_time = start_time
        self.end_time = end_time
    def run(self):
        if self.n_jobs == 1:
            get_videoclips(self.videoinpath, self.videooutpath, self.start_time, self.end_time)
        else:
			 process_list = [[self.videoinpath],
			                 [self.videooutpath],
			                 [self.start_time],
			                 [self.end_time]]
			 if __name__ == "__main__":
			     with Pool(processes=self.n_jobs) as pool:
			         pool.starmap(func1, list(zip(*process_list)))
			         pool.close()
			         pool.join()
        return True
